Darril Gibson SSCP book too easy?

in SSCP
I'm about to finish Darril Gibson's All-in-One SSCP book, but I do very well on end-of-chapter questions that now I feel suspicious that maybe the book is too easy!
I easily get 85% on questions. I didn't want to hijack other threads on his book, so I want to find out if anybody else found his book easy. On the other hand, I think he's doing an excellent job explaining the material.
P.S.
This isn't the only source I use; I've read a few other books as well, but use this to skim through my weak areas as I heard so many good things about his book.

I'm in the same boat. The questions are too easy and leave me wondering if I really know the material or if the questions are too simple.
My SSCP test is in one week and I must say I am having anxiety about it. I've read this book twice, taken notes, taken tons of practice exams, watched a few CBT nuggets, YouTube videos on Encryption and reviewed the CCC notes 2.0, Google searches etc. Just when I think I know a topic, here comes a random question on a practice test that completely throws me off.
And I still don't feel like I know enough to pass. I'm not sure why. Cryptography has to be the toughest part of this book - Yeah I understand the general concepts but it does go into detail and can be very confusing and Im not one to retain knowledge that well.
Sure, it may have been easy for you to remember and retain, but not for me. Am i just thinking too deeply unnecessarily? Any advice to keep my mind at ease would be great. Thanks everyone.
Have u read the official guide from ISC?
I just purchased the 150 question StudyIsScope set from ISC and scored a 78% on the first set of 50 questions. Some answers that seemed to be the most obvious answer were in fact not - and it appears that not all of the material is covered by Mr Gibson.
I also hear that most people feel they failed the test but end up passing. Is this because they put more weight on the easier questions?
No one is 100% confidant when sitting for an exam. Eventually, you just need to schedule your exam and do your best to discover what it is that you still don't know that you don't know and learn it.

I did a review a while ago of both sources, you might find it useful: http://www.techexams.net/forums/isc-sscp-cissp/95994-so-i-took-sscp-exam-today.html

Anyhoo, wish me luck tomorrow!
